System Narrative Campaign:
Starting soon a narrative bi-weekly campaign to take place at Crossroads games
run for you by me. As I am unable to attend the events I won’t be partaking but
GM’ing the campaign to provide new missions each game turn as well as
individual and faction bonuses or deficiencies based on previous turns. As a
GM’d narrative campaign not all missions/games will be balanced. Please
understand that the goal is to have fun with your opponent not at the expense
of your opponent, and overall the missions will be balanced over the course of
the campaign.

Organization:
I am going to need someone else on site to help promote and bring players into
the campaign as I’m just too far away to do that. That said I am happy to help
GM the campaign and provide the narrative and missions for it. So anyone that
would like to help out by being a face in the store to help organize “day of”
and to point people at the missions and information would be great. If this
gets rolling and people are heavily participating so “it is known” then that
will be fine to.

That said players do not need to be organized into teams.
Preferably same factions will not play each other, nor imperial on imperial but
I’d rather people get in good games than hold anyone to this. As such we won’t
be doing any formal teams but rather I will be tracking each player’s progress
along with their faction. Thus each faction will be tracked as a whole as will
the Imperium as a whole and these things will be forged into the narratives of
each successive stage of the campaign. Some factions may get bonuses, some
players may. It will be tailored each stage based on the results of your
individual games and as a whole.

I’m initially thinking stages will be every couple weeks to
allow people to easily get a game in for the campaign but still be able to play
other games as well. If the group wants a faster or slower pace just come to a
decision on Wednesday and let me know. I’ll adapt as needed.

Army build rules:
Standard to Crossroad games for most missions, but for your participation in
the campaign I request that you please play the same primary faction through
the campaign. All 40k factions are
allowed and will be provided more narratives once the composition of factions is
known.

Game Reporting:
Please provide game results, and details as requested with each mission to the
Crossroad forum.

Campaign Stage 1:

Armies:Army size for this game is up the players for each game. I would recommend
something in the 1700-200 range as the mission is going to force you together
and casualties will be high.

Deployment:
Players should mutually agree or roll off to determine who the defender is and
who the assaulter for this mission.

Place 4 objectives, one in each corner of the defenders deployment
zone.

Defender deploys first within an area that is 18” from both
table sides and 18” of the opponent’s table side. Defender is allowed one free
Fortification. Choose one including upgrades up to a point cost of 100 points.
You may also choose a fortification worth more than 100 points but any weapons
are non-functional, if it has no weapon then the building AV value is reduced
by 1. Defender may reserve as normal.

Attacker deploys no units and automatically goes first. All
units are placed in deep strike reserve. Even units that normally cannot or are
required to deploy by some other method. You may choose to either have the unit
deploy turn 1, or be rolled for as normal starting turn 2. This is decided by
not deep striking the unit on turn 1. Units that normally can deep strike will
only scatter 1d6 instead of the normal 2d6. Also any units arriving turn 1 that
mishap, automatically go into ongoing reserve rather than rolling on the mishap
table.

Primary Objective:

+3 points per objective marker held at the end of the game.

Secondary Objective:

+1 Point: Slay the Warlord

Attacker gains +1 point per unit in defenders deployment
zone at end of game. (Unit in this case is defined the same as for kill points
below, thus a squad with an IC in the zone is worth two points.)

Defender gains +1 point per kill point earned game end.
Attacker units that have not been deployed are counted as lost.

Mission Wrap up:
Please provide player names and factions played. Along with scores and role as
Attacker/Defender. Also any notes about moments of notes during the game and
acts of great heroics by characters from either side.
